Difference between DS and DS Lite?

[Hoshi no Kabii]

I googled this and cannot find the article I read a few months ago. I don't mean the sleek new look, bigger screen, or brighter screen. I mean its internal workings and technical aspects. Where can I find a list of every difference?

Theres actually nothing different about the DS & DS Lite.

The only thing that has been improved is the lighting system, the power button has been turned into a switch and moved to the side, and the microphone was moved to the middle. There isnt that much difference, the DS Lite is just smaller, lighter, and has better placement of things.

^Does it not also have a GBA link-up port if I recall correctly.

let me think..
power button is a slider, on the side
bigger pen, on the side
speakers in the middle top, less holes
mic in middle
battery lasts longer
lighter(in weight)
brighter
sleeker
AC outlet smaller
you can see the chargeing, on/off lightes wether its open or closed
they have it so the touch screen isn't touching the top screen when closed
region free
touch screen a tad bit lower

thats all i can think of

go to these for good reviews:

The original DS didn't have a GBA link port.

Uh... it was like that with the original too.

Anyways, the major things have been the brightness, and (for me anyways) the bigger stylus.

well maybe the screen thing, but you can'tt see the lights on the old one when closed

i'm sorry but if you mean if it didn't have a place where you can put your GBA games inside and play your sadly mistaken..
it's not like the ds lite can do anything different it just looks better but aslong as i got any DS i'm happy but i will purchase one

 

[Kasaioni]

if you, zora are talking about the link cable thing, neither have them, if your talking about a cartrige slot, wrong the DS and the DS Lite both have GBA cartrige slots

He does a good job comparing the two while reviewing the Lite.
